Let the EUro-whining begin on
Let the EUro-whining begin on Iraq Attack
Nice to see another busy monarch in London besides Liz II.
Jordan's King Abdullah is there to wheedle and cajole Blair and Britain out of joining the U.S. attack on Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.
The Guardian's version-- "Arab Leader warns Britain against attacking Saddam"-- is fairly predictable stuff.
(I think that King Abdullah's Muslim peers would have a problem with the "Arab leader" part, but...)
I don't know about you, but this Abdullah guy hasn't ever impressed me.
It's always about him and preserving his cushy jet-setting lifestyle, not about the benefits that pro-democratic reforms and regime change would bring in ANY of the Arab/Islamist countries, including his own!
